Joe DiStefano says:

I too love the name, "Oh My Chicken," pity their oversauced Korean fried chicken sucks. There's a soul food place in Albertson called something like "Hoo wee." The sign sports a yellow happy face.

You also might like "Piece of Chicken" on W. 45th St. Great name, perfect concept: chicken (by the piece) and most sides are $1 each.
